“…Table 2 Application of municipal sewage sludge slightly increased the use (phytoremediation) of macronutrients by spring wheat compared to the control treatment. This research proves that mineral fertilizers can be partially substituted with sewage sludge because recovery of these nutrients is comparable, which finds confirmation in other papers [6,18]. Moreover, organic-mineral fertilizers guarantee a slow release of nutrients for cultivated plants, which leads to an increased nutrient use [18,45].…”

“…This waste is a potential source of organic matter, nutrients, which are used in land reclamation for agricultural purposes [3,4]. Organic waste, including sewage sludge, is also used in cultivation of energy crops [5,6]. Application of large doses of municipal sewage sludge, burdened with heavy metals, may cause chemical contamination of soils [7,8].…”

Municipal sewage sludge from rural sewage treatment plants is characterized by a substantial content of organic matter and macronutrients, which can be used in cultivation of cereals. In a farm located in the commune of Iwanowice in the south of Poland (Malopolska province), municipal sewage sludge was applied under spring wheat cultivation. The experiment was set up on heavy soil with slightly acid reaction and medium content of available forms of P, K, Mg. Application of sewage sludge in a dose of 23 Mg fresh matter per hectare (4.21 Mg d.m.) led to no significant changes in chemical properties of the soil. Application of sewage sludge significantly increased yield of spring wheat. That increase led to a significant decrease in the content of N, P, K, Na, Mg and Ca in spring wheat. Utilization of N, Mg, K, P and Ca from sewage sludge by spring wheat was at a level of 82, 63, 44, 36, 9 %, respectively, of the amount introduced with the waste. Application of municipal sewage sludge significantly decreased the value of Ca : P ratio in spring wheat grain and straw. The sewage sludge did not cause a significant change in the values of Ca : Mg, K : Na, K : (Ca+Mg), K : Mg and K : Ca ratios in spring wheat grain and straw. Municipal sewage sludge can be used environmentally, including for fertilization of cereals, provided that environmental standards are kept.

“…One of the most promising cool-season grasses for biofuel is reed canary grass which could produce 4-15 t ha -1 and sometimes more of annual dry matter yield (Jasinskas et al, 2008;Wrobel et al, 2008;Heinsoo et al, 2011;Kallioinen et al, 2012;Kołodziej et al, 2016). Heinsoo et al (2011) have reported that the highest yield per hectare was obtained late in October and it reached 12.7 t ha -1 of dry matter (DM) on mineral soils in Estonia.…”

“…has also been reported as one of the grasses suitable for bioenergy in northern climate and its yields could range from 1 to more than 10 t ha -1 (Seppälä et al, 2009;Lemežienė et al, 2011;Tilvikiene et al, 2016). In different soil and climatic conditions the biomass yield of the same grass species is different and it is always associated with the growing technology, stages of plant development and their interactions (Jasinskas et al, 2008;Butkute et al, 2014;Kołodziej et al, 2016). The choise of harvesting time is one of the key factors impacting on the quality of grass biomass as feedstock for combustion.…”

Grass biomass is a potential feedstock for solid biofuel production. This paper presents the results of experiments conducted on Endocalcari-Epihypogleyic Cambisol (CMg-p-w-can) to evaluate the biomass yield, quality and bioenergy potential of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.). Two kinds of fertilizers mineral nitrogen (90 kg ha -1 ) and biogas waste (digestate) with the same amount of nitrogen and one-cut regime either in July or in October were chosen to estimate the biomass productivity and energy potential. The results of a two-year experiment suggest that the biomass yield and energy potential depended on the grass species and cultivation technology. Higher biomass and energy yields were produced by reed canary grass when harvested in July, while by tall fescue when harvested in October. Both grass species were most productive when fertilized with mineral nitrogen. Of the two grass species and harvesting dates tested, the highest biomass and energy yields were produced by reed canary grass swards harvested in July. It was proved that the highest content of lignin in the biomass led to the highest energy yield of swards.

This study was carried out to develop mathematical regression equations for predicting the uptake of selected heavy metals (HMs: Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn) by Corchorus olitorius L. cultivated in soil mixed with sewage sludge based on the concentration of these HMs in the soil–sludge mixture, soil organic matter (OM), and soil pH. The resultant regression equations reflected that the three soil factors were significant predictors for the uptake of the ten HMs in the plant tissues. Applying the t test, there are no significant differences between the actual and predicted values of the ten HMs in C. olitorius root and shoot (p > .05), which reflect the best‐fitting of these equations for predicting the uptake of these HMs. Such types of equations may be helpful for evaluating the risk of cultivation due to precise prediction of C. olitorius (leafy vegetable) uptake of HMs, in soil mixed with sewage sludge.
